The svn branch is an old branch, the current one is in git,
ssh://git.debian.org/git/users/joeyh/d-i.git branch vesamenu
I've just brought it up-to-date with current trunk. Attached is a patch.
Also attached is a debian-cd patch to support the modified syslinux files.
I have not tested it, but have had luck with modifying this file w/o
testing before. ;-) Would someone like to try building CDs? There are
three cases that should be tested:
- i386 CD
- make sure it doesn't have amd64 menu entries..
- amd64 CD
- also shouldn't have amd64 menu entries (cause the normal
entries are amd64)
- i396+amd64 combined cd
- should have supplimental amd64 menu entries
This patch should also be safely backwards compatable for building CDs
from a d-i that lacks vesamenu.
